St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital (Houston)

St. Luke’s operates within the famed Texas Medical Center and is affiliated with prestigious Texas Heart Institute. It is the 948-bed flagship of five-hospital St. Luke’s Episcopal Health System, operated by the Episcopal Diocese of Texas. Almost two-thirds of more than 600 physicians on the hospital’s active medical staff have teaching appointments at Baylor College of Medicine or the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. In 2002, the system acquired the Kelsey-Seybold physician group. In Nov. 2010, it acquired 51 percent of 61-bed Patients Medical Center, a physician-owned hospital in South Pasadena, Texas. In addition to other recognitions, Modern Maturity Magazine named St. Luke’s Episcopal one of the 50 Top Hospitals in the U.S.
